Please urge the TSG to increase their public tapir education and awareness programs. By allocating greater funding and resources towards generating public awareness of this issue, conservation efforts will be more effective and far-reaching. Pls sign.

Noted, signed and shared! Thank you for posting Nicole. These live in our central, north and southeast areas. In modern Brazilian Portuguese they're referred to as antas, but the Tupi indians used to call them tapiras, which means "similar to the capybara." This video shows them in the Amazon forest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ll2jkYGF4

I was unaware of this beautiful animal. I think I have heard of it but didn't really know what it was. Thanks for bringing awareness. I am distressed to learn they are in danger and exploited.

Sure the educating people/students all the more better ways to improve these animals existance. Very bright idea. Ministry of education need to improve their part of getting the knowledge out to their students and encouraging them to do anything possible to protect the planet earth and it's inhabitants.
